Hi all, when I’m either taking a dump or relaxing in the bath I don’t mind a Subaru video or 2 to chill to so I thought I start posting some up. Although there in Japanese they are fantastic to watch, feel free to add your own as I love em...

I am following a restoration project, the guys going into a lot of detail

johno01

this guy is something else! I’ve watched his Subaru videos and he certainly knows what he is doing. Unfortunately he doesn’t do private work 😪

I love watching this guy restore stuff, Bilt Hamber de-ox for the win!

I didn’t even know these cars existed

Not in the UK mate. The men running subaru UK have basically given up.

No one wants to buy a STI. But have you tried marketing it to the UK. Why are they selling like hot cakes in the states.

johno01

they look like fantastic cars mate! I was very eager to watch that video as I didn’t know they existed lol

here are a few of my build reviews if you wanted to watch them

NOSSY_89

A few tweaks and they would sell. I don't have the money to buy them but I would like to see them on the road.

If you want to see more have a look at some of the American videos, those guys just can't get enough of them

johno01

thank you mate 👍

johno01

i love this one, i live just at the back of rcm and i loved popping in to get my parts,the workshop/shop is awesome and olly is such a nice guy, always made sure i felt welcome and always took time to talk to me. even when i went in with friends he would show us round to see whats going on.

johno01

shrek your a Subaru man, fancy getting another???

johno01

just watched the video and I’d LOVE to be able to drive like that...out of curiosity people, how good are rcm for repairs, upgrades etc...I’m guessing there the best BUT do they cost a premium?

lol why?
i fancy a change mate if im honest but i do keep looking i dont really want an older car anymore and the 2015 wrx sti unless forged/tuned i think will be a bit of a let down

general servicing prices are listed on their website and are in line with most other big name specialists. i never had any issues from them and as said olly is a great bloke. i bought most of my parts from there from oil filters to induction kits all the way up to the 2 piece A.P 356mm discs.

johno01

get both! Get an older blobeye sti widetrack running decent power as a weekend toy or a hobby like I have and get a family vehicle, mate there becoming fantastic investments now, I’d love a classic type r etc but there 25g now 😭 get one before your priced out of one. You love Subarus mate.

johno01

I went there with my old blobeye when Duncan mapped it (done a great job btw) and I could have eaten my dinner off the floor it was that clean, the older brother spoke to me not the main driver and he was a fantastic guy 👍 may go back there one day

johno01

Just had an awful thought, electric cars rallying in the future...no sound, ridiculous speeds...no character whatsoever....take me right now and burn me alive 🔥🔥

thing is mate its issues like rust that concern me. blobeye's are my favorite shape followed by hawkeye's. i already have my daily smoker and thats the mega jeep that will never die lol. i do love scoobys mate your right but im way to big to feel comfy in one, they are built for jap's @ 5ft tall. i even had to swap the hawk steering wheel to a damd one as my legs rubbed the standard one each side.IF i did get another i think it would be a blobeye.
with us being forced to go electric in 9 years time i wanna try other cars mate before its too late and i regret it. we are having a load of work done @ home right now so when thats all over and we have both had our 2nd dose for covid im gonna go and test drive a few cars to see what gets me. the one im craving is an f10 m5 and @ £25k-£30k they are well within reach for me but i need to make sure i can fit in one and enjoy it on the roads i drive on daily (b-roads usually greasy)
what i dont like about all these newer cars is the sound, they sound ****ing terrible, the worst being the M2/M3/M4 and the hot hatch brigade A45/RS3/ etc etc they all sound ****e, i love the sound of a scoob, it always turns heads and puts a smile on my face.

well if you do mate drop us a pm and pop in for a coffee im literally 30 seconds away from rcm.
i went there in my 1st impreza (blob wrx with sti lump etc) but i big ended after its final run, i cant blame duncan as i have no proof but it did feel rushed in my opinion.
you know what ive always fancied? a 2.1 stroker blobeye running big power, no 2.5 issues to worry about and that old school thump in the back from the slightly laggy turbo.

johno01

I understand mate I really do but if your a Subaru fanatic it’s hard to say no! My blobeye gets stops and stares everywhere and I don’t drive fast! Luckily enough I bought it for 12g. Regarding the rust your spot on mate, I’ve got a blobeye undersealed from new so I no it’s a keeper but I’d always sell it for the right price to the right person 👍

i really dont want to be a part of the electric future, i dont believe its going to be the saviour of our planet nor do i think it will work.
filling up with petrol takes 5 mins, who the **** is gonna wait god knows how long to charge their electric car?
how are people going to charge their cars if they live in flats/terrace houses?
its all bollocks and i will continue to run a petrol/diesel as long as i possibly can. **** electric lol.

such a great era mate, i have loved motorsport since i was a kid but 1st off it was BTCC for me, i was hooked on vauxhall's back in the day, i creamed over having my 1st cavalier gsi2000 after watching john cleland have his up on 2 wheels in the famous soper/cleland incident. if i knew back then what i know now i would have bought and stored an astra gte mk2 16v and a mk2 cavalier sri (i had one but it was stolen and burnt out)

living just 2 miles from mallory park meant that many sundays were spent there as a kid. so glad i was able to enjoy that era as it will never return.

johno01

what a video mate, I love “the fingers” 😂😂 proper racing
